Description
Striking and always visible, the mountain peaks of the "Breitengrad" rise above the extensive grassy slopes of the Leisalp. This impressive mountain range shapes the eastern slope of the Valsertal not only with its well-known peaks of Piz Aul and Faltschohorn, but the prominent hump of the Satteltichopf is particularly often clearly visible. Passing the Stafel of the Leisalp, the mighty avalanche protection dams can be viewed up close, as well as further up the enormous excavation that once supplied the material for the dams. The spectacular ascent through the steep slope below the Satteltilücke forms another highlight before finally enjoying the fantastic view of the village deep down in the valley.
